a_o thought_n of_o love_n he_o conclude_v from_o thence_o a_o necessity_n of_o great_a excellency_n in_o great_a matter_n if_o but_o to_o think_v of_o love_n it_o be_v a_o joy_n above_o all_o

when_o such_o so_o many_o sweet_a delight_n shall_v all_o at_o once_o within_o we_o meet_v oh_o how_o we_o shall_v be_v rapt_v with_o joy_n and_o fill_v with_o pleasure_n extreme_a sweet_a and_o likewise_o concern_v time_n as_o for_o example_n he_o tell_v she_o that_o to_o enjoy_v such_o pleasure_n but_o one_o hour_n or_o a_o day_n be_v enough_o to_o possess_v the_o heart_n with_o

with_o very_o sweet_a pleasure_n till_o then_o much_o more_o may_v a_o long_a time_n delight_v we_o and_o so_o he_o may_v sing_v to_o she_o again_o to_o enjoy_v such_o pleasure_n but_o one_o day_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o ravish_v even_o our_o heart_n and_o mind_n with_o such_o sweet_a joy_n to_o think_v ourselves_o almost_o in_o heaven_n if_o in_o one_o day_n be_v so_o much_o joy_n such_o sweet_a pleasure_n such_o delight_n what_o pleasure_n may_v we_o then_o enjoy_v perchance_o a_o thousand_o day_n and_o night_n or_o otherwise_o in_o divers_a kind_n but_o to_o proceed_v further_o he_o can_v discourse_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o excellency_n of_o love_n by_o example_n as_o of_o seneca_n and_o paulina_n orpheus_n and_o euricide_n mausolus_n and_o artimesia_n mark_v anthony_n and_o

of_o adonis_n the_o elysian_a field_n or_o paradise_n when_o they_o enjoy_v their_o love_n they_o be_v so_o fill_v with_o delight_n if_o other_o in_o their_o love_n do_v find_v such_o joy_n such_o

ever_o any_o lover_n enjoy_v such_o delight_n and_o shall_v not_o we_o yes_o we_o will_v sport_v play_n laugh_v and_o sing_v live_v joyful_a as_o a_o queen_n a_o king_n or_o beyond_o comparison_n thaereus_n never_o take_v such_o pleasure_n in_o his_o pamphila_n as_o i_o that_o be_v thou_o will_v together_o he_o think_v none_o live_v so_o happy_a as_o they_o two_o but_o we_o may_v swear_v it_o
